Ducks blank Blues

Anaheim, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Jonas Hiller posted his fifth shutout of the
season as the Anaheim Ducks blanked the St. Louis Blues, 1-0, on Friday.

Andrew Cogliano provided the lone goal for the Ducks, who have won two
straight.

"Everybody was sacrificing. I think we had more blocked shots than I had
saves. It's great to get that win," Hiller said.

With the victory, Anaheim head coach Bruce Boudreau became the fastest coach
in NHL history to record 300 wins.

"I don't really know what it means. I'm just happy we got the two points,"
said Boudreau.

Brian Elliot stopped 18 shots for the Blues, losers in two straight.

"Between missed nets and blocked shots, we've had over 100 in the past two
games," St. Louis head coach Ken Hitchcock said. "That's the issue. Too many
blocked shots, too many missed opportunities, too many shots missed the net."

The Blues also send a pair of draft choices in the swap, St. Louis' first-
rounder in 2015 and a conditional third-round selection in 2016.

The Blues turned it over at the Anaheim blue line and Saku Koivu flipped the
disc up to Cogliano on a fast break. Cogliano faked a shot to the left before
pulling back and lifting the puck over Elliot's pad.

With just 18 seconds left Blues' forward David Backers fired a clean wrister
on net, but it was turned away by Hiller and cleared from the zone to seal the
win.
